Product Features & Technical Specifications
- Full UIC 864 Compliance – Manufactured strictly according to UIC 864 specifications, ensuring dimensional and performance consistency across all rail systems.
- Optimal Elasticity – The E-type design provides excellent clamping force while maintaining sufficient elasticity to absorb dynamic loads and vibrations, reducing track maintenance.
- High-Strength Material – Made from premium spring steel (e.g., 60Si2Mn) with controlled heat treatment, achieving a hardness of 40–48 HRC and tensile strength ≥ 1300 MPa.
- 500-Hour Salt Spray Resistance – Surface treatment (black oxide or oil coating) ensures the clip withstands 500 hours of salt spray testing without significant corrosion, ideal for coastal and humid regions.
- Consistent Geometry – Precision manufacturing with 18mm diameter and 5mm thickness guarantees easy installation and interchangeability with existing E-type clips.
- Low Maintenance Lifecycle – Designed for long service life; typical fatigue life exceeds 3 million cycles under standard loading conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What rail profiles are compatible with this clip?
A: This UIC 864 E-type clip is designed for standard rail profiles such as 54E1, 60E1, 49E1, and others commonly used in international railways. It can also be adapted for specific profiles upon request.
Q2: How is the clip installed?
A: The clip is inserted into the rail base plate or shoulder using a simple manual or hydraulic tool. No special fasteners are required; the elastic design holds it securely in place.
Q3: What is the corrosion resistance level?
A: Our clip passes a 500-hour neutral salt spray test (ASTM B117) without developing red rust on the main surface. For higher corrosion resistance, we can apply additional coatings like Dacromet or zinc-nickel plating.
Q4: Can you provide samples for testing?
A: Yes, we offer sample clips for evaluation. Please contact our sales team with your shipping details. Sample cost and freight are negotiable based on quantity.
Q5: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our standard MOQ is 2,000 pieces per size. For smaller quantities, we may accommodate trial orders at a slightly higher unit price. Bulk orders receive volume discounts.
Q6: How long does delivery take?
A: Lead time is typically 15–25 working days after order confirmation, depending on quantity and surface treatment. For urgent orders, express production can be arranged.
Q7: Do you provide certification for the material?
A: Yes, we can provide mill test certificates for raw material and a test report for the salt spray test and mechanical properties. Full compliance with UIC 864 is documented.
Q8: Is the clip reusable?
A: Yes, the E-type elastic clip is designed for multiple installation and removal cycles without permanent deformation, provided it is not overloaded. Regular inspection is recommended.
